Affinidi Elements

Identity stackpowering secure data exchange

A scalable, secure, and fully managed technology stack for building user-centric identity solutions and trusted data exchange

Three products, one trust loop

Affinidi Elements brings together identity and verifiable credential services, a user-owned digital wallet, and decentralised private messaging. Each product solves a distinct problem, and together they close the full loop: issuing a credential, putting it in the user's hands, and sharing it securely when it's needed.

Issue, verify, request and manage Verifiable Credentials

  • The credential layer for your apps and workflows
  • Credential Issuance, Affinidi Login, Verification, Affinidi Iota and more
  • Everything you need to build a production credential ecosystem
See product page

A user-owned digital wallet

  • Users access their wallet on web and mobile
  • Developers embed Vault directly into their own apps
  • Selective sharing with granular consent
See product page

Encrypted, verifiable communication for people, businesses, and AI agents

  • Built on DIDComm v2.1, open, decentralised, interoperable
  • End-to-end encrypted, mediators route but cannot read messages
  • Exchange verifiable credentials securely between any parties

Build business friendly use cases

Practical patterns for building user‑centric, privacy‑first applications across authentication, messaging, and verifiable credentials.

Passwordless authentication with Affinidi Login

For consumer apps, marketplaces, membership communities, and events where you want one‑click registration and login, with the option to request only what you truly need (e.g. email, phone number, or age over 18).

Secure and private messaging

Build next-gen communications where people, organisations, and AI agents discover, connect, and exchange data using Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) over DIDComm with end-to-end encryption and privacy-preserving server routing.

Issue verifiable credentials (VCs)

For events, certifications, memberships, and employability proofs. Generate cryptographically signed, tamper‑evident credentials that are portable and reusable across services, with sub‑second verification.

Verified onboarding and KYC-lite

Request only the facts you need (e.g. age over 18) with verifiable presentations (VP) via Affinidi Iota. Stop storing excess PII and reduce your data liability.

Employment credential verification

Upgrade background checks to reusable, verifiable credentials. Built on open standards, they deliver cryptographic authenticity and consent‑based selective disclosure, so HR teams confirm only what's needed.

In-app credential wallet for end users

Let end users securely store and share VCs in your app. Use Affinidi Vault (web) for instant onboarding, or embed Vault capabilities directly into your Flutter app with the Affinidi TDK Vault for Dart.

Proprietary identity vs. open standards

Why developers choose Affinidi Elements.

Category Proprietary Identity Elements (Open Standards)
Portability Locked to vendor format. Migration = rebuild everything. W3C VC standard. Use any compliant provider. Switch freely.
Verification API calls to vendor. Rate limits. Downtime = no verification. Local cryptographic verification. Works offline. Infinite scale.
User Control Vendor stores user data. You're liable for breaches. Users own credentials in their wallet. Zero PII storage.
Compliance Centralised data = GDPR liability. User deletion nightmares. Privacy by design. User controls data. Compliance built-in.
Integration Proprietary SDK. Vendor-specific APIs. No interop. Open standards (W3C, OID4VCI, DIDs). Integrate once, interoperate with any compliant ecosystem.
Pricing Unpredictable pricing post-contract. Transparent pricing. No lock-in. Self-host option.
Deployment Vendor-hosted only. Their infrastructure, their rules. Self-host on your own infrastructure. Full control, zero vendor dependency.
